 Brooks takes us to the extreme frontiers of what we understand about the world. He journeys from the observations that might rewrite our story of how the cosmos came to be, through the novel biology behind our will to live, and on to the physiÂological root of consciousness. Along the way, he examines how itâs time to redress the gender imÂbalance in clinical trials, explores how merging huÂmans with other species might provide a solution to the shortage of organ donors, and finds out whether the universe really is like a computer or if the flow of time is a mere illusion.
